1998 Omega Saloon CDX 2.5 74000 mle had it 4 years

yes after reading it it does look naff its a auto saloon as i accelerate the the noise is a bumming sound getting more noisier the faster i go when i reach about 70 the noise is constant like running thru a tunnel or like if the rear window is down but i must admit the tyres are starting to get near the wear indicators they are avon zz3 i just thought someone might have experienced same type of noise wat is the recomendation for a decent tyre the avons tramline like hell

I know one cheap brand that really do 'whine'. I've had them twice now, so I would not recommend them but I can't think of the damned name of them now. HTH

I would check the inside walls of the tyres as a matter of urgency, you could have a bulge.

Yup, i'm with you AA.

You don't want to be travelling along at 70 wondering where the bump bump is coming from when you get a blow out.

Generally speaking, that'd be bad. Undecided
